Hi All,
I triple boot (win98/RH7.3/MDK9.1) with /boot of RH in /dev/hda8 and / in /dev/hda9 . LILO(RH with location of MDK indicated in /etc/lilo.conf) is at present in MBR.
I thought I will give a try booting linux using loadlin.
I created a directory loadlin in C: , copied all the files from /boot into this directory.
Made a batch file linux.bat with the following line c:loadlinloadlin.exe c:loadlinvmlinuz root=/dev/hda8 ro
Booted into pure DOS mode and ran linux.bat. It booted and halted with an error message : No INIT found , Try passing INIT= to kernel. At this message machine stopped with scroll lock and caps lock lights flashing.
I thought I will try this before trying to modify config.sys and autoexec.bat Is this happening because LILO is in MBR and I am trying to boot thru loadlin?
Pl help

Wouldn't root be rather /dev/hda9 ?

I got the same error after deleting the /initrd directory which seemed useless 'cause empty... You should find an answer somewhere in here:

Doesn't the /initrd directory hold the initiate Ram Disk files? That being the case and you deleted it, not much is likely to boot
